I always hated that the otherwise superbly designed ATR-100 series-unlike at least some of the Studer machines-was not tapelifterless. So much less destructive oxide shedding that way.

The $64,000 question: HOW temporary is this "cure"?🤔 The $128,000 question: WHY is the baking process result only temporary, when you show photo-micrographs of a completely "cured"-looking tape surface???🧐

For God sake remove the bloody annoying audio and have a person narrate the content!
